8/10 Good
"I stayed with my partner for his birthday and we had a great time. The property was clean and the pools were refreshing/relaxing. All the staff was very nice. Only complaint was I wish they did more for birthdays. I booked a dinner months prior with a note for birthday and also called before my reservation to remind them, but still had to ask for a dessert in which they brought out as if any other plate. Didn’t really make my fiancé feel special. But other than that everything was awesome!"

The sunset views were a stunning end to every evening and the clouds rolling over the hills during the day were spectacular. The finca is close to town yet far enough away for privacy and a quiet environment. Toucans, hummingbirds and butterflies were an added bonus. The property was quiet, safe, clean, and every detail had been perfectly crafted. We’d definitely stay here again."
